[Intro]

Yeah


[Chorus]

Yeah, there's no answer and you called twice

Nobody be at my house

I was at the studio all night

Last night I slept on the couch

I might wake up and do it all again

There's a world goin' crazy outside

But let's pretend that it's alright

We keep pretendin' that it's alright


[Verse 1]

Yeah, alright

Days get mixed up (Uh-huh), schedules get switched up (Uh-huh)

Can't be two places at once (Yep)

So, I take a hit of the spliff that I lit up (Lit up)

And forget I had to be anywhere at all

Goddamn, how the mighty will fall (Fall)

They wanna see me gone, but I'm here in spite of it all (All)

I never play along

You can keep the fear and self-pity (Fear)

I'd rather tell you who I am really, yeah

This is not the wake-up call

I am the hotel operator, I don't owe nobody favors

I don't know how the fuck I've been around so long

Busy as a escalator in a crowded mall (Uh-huh)

It's like, every year I realize my house too small

Get paid, upgrade, two cribs, new maids, more flights, few planes

Live out my suitcase (Suitcase), lose days like loose change (Loose change)

I swear my life is on Blu-ray, welcome to doomsday (Ah)

The world needs a hero and I am your Bruce Wayne (Woo)

Kind of like Luke Cage, well (Well, well, well, well)

You keep on runnin', we keep on pushin' your buttons


[Chorus]

Yeah, there's no answer and you called twice

Nobody be at my house

I was at the studio all night

Last night I slept on the couch

I might wake up and do it all again

There's a world goin' crazy outside

But let's pretend that it's alright

We keep pretendin' that it's alright


[Verse 2]

I run around with open scissors (Yeah), they takin' pictures

I could lose my head, it grow instead, gets only bigger

I put one foot in front of the other, I never settle

Waste yo' time with water and wine, I'm turnin' liquid to metal

Still the (Still the) same dude that used to never be sure (Yeah)

When I was way more insecure, did not feel better before, no

Umbrellas never could weather the storm

No sympathy for the devil, too busy buildin' a temple

I am lookin' beyond (Beyond), leavin' 'em lookin'

Hot as the grill I'm puttin' 'em on when I be cookin', shit (Cooking, cooking, cooking)

I keep on runnin' if I have to

Medusa never turned me to a statue, no

I keep it movin' (Movin', movin'), but keep it low (Low, low, low, low)

You can do your thing, shit, to each their own (Yep, yep, yep)

But you better do somethin'

We keep on pushin' your buttons (Buttons)


[Chorus]

Yeah, there's no answer and you called twice

Nobody be at my house

I was at the studio all night

Last night I slept on the couch

I might wake up and do it all again

There's a world goin' crazy outside

But let's pretend that it's alright

We keep pretendin' that it's alright
